crotch-chopping in berrating victory(8550) DM: As you (Git) plunge your dagger into
the heart, it swiftly withers and blackens, then implodes soundlessly. An
anguished scream elsewhere in the pyramid makes your hair stand up and sends
chills down your spine. Then all is silence.(8550) DM: Vontaros once again glows.(8549) Git: "That felt real good."

know before you go blowing him up."(8539) Agatha: "Git, Norfirion. Why
don't you go up ahead and find Halif and the others? Vron and I will catch
up."(8549) Git: (how's our gnome buddy doing?)(8539) Agatha: ((I think he high-tailed it
after we got to the room))(8573) Vrondard: (hmm we are sort of not near
the water pools arent we...)(8573) Vrondard: (forgot about that...)(8571) Norfirion: "We should stay together."** (8539) Agatha uses her greataxe for support as
she trudges along. **(8571) Norfirion: "We're already down one man."(8573) Vrondard: "yep... so are we
going to backtrack down to the well or not"(8550) DM: He resumed spoon digging.(8539) Agatha: "Aye, but if you can get
to Gwynn quickly she can tend to Kha sooner."(8549) Git: "Aye. I'll go ahead to get
her ready." :Take your time.** (8549) Git climbs ahead through the tunnel back
to the now upside down room **(8573) Vrondard: ((where the hell is she...
and why wouldnt we want to be cheap and just use the water))(8549) Git: (does anyone else have any river
water?)(8539) Agatha: ((She's with Halif and
Wa'run. Those two aren't exactly equipped to take on wraiths.))(8550) DM: Eventually you emerge into the room
where you first saw the gnome. Basht is here. Gwynnoria is nowhere to be found.
Halif and Wa'run are asleep.(8550) Basht: So...you have found your ka-tet.
Mrrr.** (8539) Agatha frowns as she sees the cat-lady.
"Well you picked a fine time to show up. Where the hell have you
been?" **(8571) Norfirion: "Useless woman."(8550) Basht: I have always been with you.
(smiles slyly)** (8549) Git peers at basht curiously as he climbs
down the rope. "I'm assuming there never really was a gwynnoria,
right?" **(8550) Basht: No, there was not. She was a
shape I took a liking to. Mrr.(8549) Git: :raises a brow: "That
anxious to spend time with me again?"(8472) Ryoko (enter): 00:17(8550) Basht: So. (stands up and stretches) You
have slain the Taker of Set, and for this I congratulate you. His death has
unsealed many doors and made it possible for Ra's prophecy to be fulfilled.(8539) Agatha: "All well and good. Why
didn't you just show yourself instead of playing all these infernal
games?"** (8550) Basht chuckles softly, as she clambers
down the rope after the rogue. "In a manner of speaking, mortal,
yes." **(8571) Norfirion: "Where are the great tomes he kept here?"(8550) Basht: There are rules, Agatha. There
are always rules.(8573) Vrondard: "yeah thats all good
and all"(8573) Vrondard: "but me friend here
aint in any condition fer any long speaches"(8571) Norfirion: "I know he has them hidden away somewhere. I
should check the room we last encountered him in."** (8550) Basht looks to Norfirion. "I might
be a cat, but I do not know everything." **(8472) Ryoko (exit): 00:21** (8571) Norfirion chuckles. "So say we
all." **(8573) Vrondard: "so if yer goin ta
open any doors... open it to one of them water wells so I can get him all fixed
up right and ready"(8549) Git: :agreses: "Yes, would you
mind offering a bit of your divine glory to gix up our comrades who've sweated
and bled for this ka'tet thus far?"** (8550) Basht looks at Kha with concern.
"Have him hold my hand." **(8571) Norfirion: "Aww how touching.."** (8571) Norfirion assists with Kha. **(8539) Agatha: "And rules told you to
drop us right in the spot where we could release a flaming jin? One that would
wreck havok, causing misery and death for everyone?"** (8573) Vrondard trudges over there and exposes
Kha to her touch **** (8549) Git shrugs as Kha's hand is lifting to
the lady, "Now you try to make me jealous? How juvenile." Jests as he
hopes for a couple miracels **(8562) Kha: "Teleute?"(8562) Kha: ((Whispers))** (8571) Norfirion drops hold of Kha and stands
up. **** (8562) Kha sighs **** (8562) Kha mouths something **** (8550) Basht murmurs to Agatha, "No, that
was your doing, as the prophecy foretold. That strangers from a strange land
would come and cause Khalitarius, the seventh lord of the City of Brass to
arise from a slumber long sealed by the archmage Martek. And in so doing would
bring about the return of Ra, the Ever Living." **(8562) Kha: gm "So is the thing that Ton
of Bricks that hit me dead?"** (8550) Basht examines Kha, murmuring soothing
words as she works over him. **(8571) Norfirion: "Yes, it fell."(8562) Kha: ((Ignore my last statment not
sure if Kha can talk outloud yet =P))(8550) Basht: Sleep the endless sleep. Return
to the dreaming deep. Sleep, the endless sleep.** (8550) Basht passes her hands over Kha, who
settles into a deep sleep. Wounds close on his skin as pallor returns to the
plainsman's cheeks. **(8550) Basht: He must rest for a night and a
day. Then he will be as before. (murmurs)(8549) Git: "Sounds relaxing."** (8539) Agatha watches the process, impressed. "Strong
medicine." **(8549) Git: "Got one more in ya?"
:points to Aggy:** (8562) Kha sighs in resignation **(8550) Basht: Not as much, but I shall try.(8550) Basht: (to Agatha) "Sit and take
comfort in the might of Ra, the Ever Living."** (8539) Agatha slowly sits down as a soothing
warmth washes over her. **(8550) DM: You spot a silver ankh around her
neck, which glows with a strange inner light, as she works over Agatha,
murmuring softly.(8550) Basht: That spell that caused me to go
astray was worked in part by the Taker. He is a minion of Set.(8549) Git: :shrug: "We're use to big
screw ups. no big deal"(8539) Agatha: "Are there any more
where he came from?"(8550) Basht: Your part in the Taker's death
will attract his attention in time. You have no Fate but the Fate you are
given.(8573) Vrondard: "how nice fer us"(8573) Vrondard: "least we will get
something out of this than just sand in me shorts"** (8550) Basht whispers softly to Agatha,
"Sleep the dreamless sleep. Return, to the wombless deep. Sleep the
dreamless sleep," as she passes her hands over the barbarian's body. **** (8550) Basht leans against the wall, exhausted,
as Agatha slowly falls asleep. **(8549) Git: "You alright to travel,
kitten or we gonna have to carry you out too?"(8573) Vrondard: "we aint goin anywhere
fer a while Git"(8550) Basht: I shall be able to walk in but a
few hours, rogue. Mrrr. (smiles wearily)(8573) Vrondard: "these do gots to
sleep..."(8573) Vrondard: (two)** (8571) Norfirion takes a seat as he begins to
use his mortal and pestal to make some herbal concocution. **(8549) Git: "Too bad.":flirts to
Basht and turns to his still conscious: "Aye, still got a stone to find(8550) Basht: You asked why I was unable to
appear before. As a servant of Ra, I could not since the Taker lived. I could
not aid you in any direct way. Although I am but a minor servant, the rules
apply to me as well.** (8571) Norfirion finishes making his tea then
downs it as he begins to meditate. **(8550) Basht: You have four stones to find.
Mrr. One is elsewhere in this tomb. I could tell you of the others...(8585) erendor (exit): 00:40(8549) Git: "that would be appreciate,
kitten."(8573) Vrondard: "please do..."(8550) Basht: Very well.(8550) Basht: The stones you are looking for
are known as the Star Gems of Martek. They are magical jewels which will enable
Martek to return to the land of the living. As one of the greatest servants of
Ra, the Ever Living, this was prophesiesed in ages past. When Martek returns,
so will Khalitarius be banished from the mortal realm until the end of time.(8550) Basht: The flail you are carrying was
and is a means for Khalitarius to prevent this from occurring. More about that
later.(8550) Basht: One Star Gem you already possess.
This is the Star of Aga-Pelar, which was the capstone in the coffer that served
as Khalitarius' spirit prison. You opened the prison which freed the ifrit, and
in turn set the prophecy of Martek in motion.(8550) Basht: The other Star Gems are the Star
of Mo-Pelar, the Star of Khan-Pelar, the Star of Shah-Pelar and the Star of
Melos-Pelar.(8562) Kha: ((AFK for a few min since Kha is
passed out anyways :) ))** (8571) Norfirion pulls out the large fire opal
and grasps it in his hand. **(8550) Basht: The Star of Mo-Pelar was and is
one of the symbols of rule given to pharoahs of Bakar. The other symbol is the
ruling staff of Bakar. You were tasked to steal the Star of Mo-Pelar and the
ruling staff of Bakar by Amunhotep's spirit. Steal the Star and the staff from
Amunhotep's theft-proof tomb, so that the spirit of the pharoah may go to his
eternal rest in Heaven Westward.(8588) Green (exit): 00:46(8571) Norfirion: "It will soon be done."(8550) Basht: The Star of Shah-Pelar is the
third Star Gem. It lies somewhere in the Oasis of the White Palm. It lies long
forgotten in a place of light, in a place sacred to Set. Defeat the guardians
of Set's temple and retrieve the Star.(8549) Git: "That sounds taxing. maybe
we can recruit some help for that." :rests against the wall as he listens
and makes plans:** (8573) Vrondard pays little head to all these
strange gods and gems talk... **(8550) Basht: The Star of Khan-Pelar is the
fourth Star Gem. It lies in the Crypt of Al-Alisk, a place beholden to
Khalitarius, from where the ifrit lord sends his unliving horde forth to ravage
and destroy. Within this evil place, you will find that which you need to
release the djinn lord who is Khalitarius' immortal enemy, Aeraldoth.(8573) Vrondard: heed..(8571) Norfirion: "Is there an order to all of this?"(8549) Git: "Two warring elemental
entities. that should improve things for the locals"(8550) Basht: The Star of Melos-Pelar is the
fifth and final Star Gem. It lies within the Cursed City of Stone, otherwise
known as the City of Medinat al-Muskawoon, in the place known as Skysea. This
place I do not know much, save that the skills of Kha and Norfirion will be key
to your survival.(8603) Zane (enter): 00:52(8571) Norfirion: "Haha perfect."(8549) Git: "I get nervous when people
say that."(8571) Norfirion: "They always do..." *he chuckles.*(8603) Zane (exit): 00:53(8549) Git: :grins to norf and offers an
idle nod(8550) Basht: Once you have all five Star Gems
in hand, we will speak of this again. (to Norf) You may, if you wish, follow
where you wish. However, there are certain things that must occur before you
can sail Skysea and retrieve the fifth Star Gem.** (8571) Norfirion nods. **(8571) Norfirion: "Thank you for the intriguing tale."(8571) Norfirion: "I take back my previous comment. I
apologize."(8550) Basht: There is more, but as the genies
say, that is a tale for another evening.(8588) Cate (enter): 00:55(8588) Cate (exit): 00:55(8571) Norfirion: "Indeed, lets get some rest."(8549) Git: "Yeah... this is exactly
the kind of place I want to sleep in" :sarcastically:(8550) Basht: Now then....your flail.(8549) Git: (the room's gravity still
flipped?)(8549) Git: "What about it?"(8550) Basht: Your flail is part of a matched
set of items that allows its wielder to control minions of Set OR summon the
god Set to the mortal plane.(8550) DM: (yes)(8605) Cate (enter): 00:57(8550) Basht: Since Khalitarius serves Set, the
ifrit lord is actively seeking the flail in the hopes of reversing the prophecy
and causing it to fail.(8549) Git: "Well too bad for
him."(8550) Basht: Even dreaming in Martek's spirit
prison, he was able to project part of himself into the mortal realm and direct
those who served him and Set to seek out the flail. Thus the Fellowship.(8605) Cate (exit): 00:59** (8562) Kha muubles in his sleep
"Flying....dog....enemy" **(8549) Git: "Yeah yeah. He have any
more local subordinates to watch out for?"(8550) Basht: There is a larger battle which
serves as a backdrop to your ka-tet, Git. If you resolve the prophecy of
Martek, you will be able to save your kingdom.(8549) Git: :shrugs: "That's nice"(8571) Norfirion: "Their Kingdom, you mean. I have other
goals."(8571) Norfirion: "But I'm sure I'll discover what I'm looking for
along this path sooner than any other way."(8571) Norfirion: "Such power only comes with great purpose."** (8550) Basht sighs. Those who serve the lord of
fire and flame are everywhere, like grains of sand in the dune sea. **** (8573) Vrondard falls asleep himself... **** (8550) Basht falls asleep as well. **(8550) DM: (FF)(8549) Git: "I was afraid you'd say
something like that." :sees everyone nodding off, but stays up to keep
watch:(8571) Norfirion: (yes please)(8562) Kha: ((FFing far enough that Kha is
away, 36 hours I think he had to sleep))(8549) Git: (wow... that's a lot of sleep
time)(8581) Eraos (enter): 01:10(8549) Git: (we frozen?)(8562) Kha: ((I am not))(8562) Kha: ((?))(8571) Norfirion: not me(8549) Git: (whoever isn't frozen type
something)(8571) Norfirion: blah(8573) Vrondard: ((not frozen... but am in
my underwear))(8549) Git: (stan ? Aggy?)(8539) Agatha: ((not frozen but my milk is
thawing out))(8571) Norfirion: umm too much info Vron(8562) Kha: ((Hope fully Stan is just looking
something up))(8550) DM: (ok, back. resume)** (8562) Kha wakes up grogily and looks around **** (8573) Vrondard has his beard perfectly combed
and braided by now **** (8571) Norfirion greets the others as they
awake, then studies over his spellbook for the oncoming day. **** (8562) Kha tenderly touches his ribs "That
thing hurt" **** (8549) Git has gotten himself back into something
resembling a cultured appearance again with some fresh clothes and a shave **(8571) Norfirion: "It got hurt in turn too."** (8562) Kha uses Vontaros as a brace to help him
stand **(8571) Norfirion has sent you a tree node...** (8562) Kha looks around "So it is dead?
Then we have to find the game and Rod" **(8562) Kha: ((Id Basht still here?))(8562) Kha: ((*Is))(8550) DM: ((no))(8581) Eraos (exit): 01:22(8581) Eraos (enter): 01:22(8539) Agatha: "Hrmm..That is some
strong medicine."(8562) Kha: "Thank Teleute, she was kind
enough to speak with me and let me know it was not my time to die"(8549) Git: "I'm all for it, Kha. As
long as you two are up to the challenge"(8571) Norfirion: afk a few mins(8539) Agatha: "So where's the coniving
feline now? Did the traipse off again?"(8562) Kha: "I seem to be fine"(8581) Eraos (exit): 01:23(8562) Kha: "Feline? You mean
Brasht?"(8573) Vrondard: "har... haven't yea
heard him faun all over her?"(8539) Agatha: You know anyone else with
tail and cat ears?"(8562) Kha: "No, Too bad I missed her,
She happen to tell you where to find this Gem and Rod?"(8549) Git: "No clue."** (8549) Git stands and heads back up the hall and
around the corner toward room 14, "But I know where we haven't
checked" **** (8562) Kha follows, Vontaros in hand **(8573) Vrondard: "well we gots one
right?"** (8571) Norfirion gathers his belongings and
follows along. **(8573) Vrondard: "and another is some
place far from here where a bunch a creepy fellas be dead?"** (8571) Norfirion nods. "The stone from
Khalitarius's tomb." **** (8549) Git opens the northern(?) door from
before checking if anything is waiting inside 14 this time **** (8571) Norfirion shows Vrondard the red opal. **(8571) Norfirion: "Something like that my dear dwarf."(8539) Agatha: "So we should press on.
There's still rooms to search and we can't be sure that Mun-afik and his kin
aren't still kicking."** (8571) Norfirion nods. **(8550) DM: The room inside is empty.(8573) Vrondard: "bah"(8573) Vrondard: "next one..."** (8571) Norfirion extends his staff as its tim
glows faintly. **** (8571) Norfirion scans for any magic. **(8573) Vrondard: "sure would be easy to
have a treasure hunter..."(8549) Git: "That's comforting."
:moves in to check the western door: "We should check the room we founf
Munafik in earlier too"(8571) Norfirion: tim=tip(8550) DM: (2?)whispering to TaliesinNYC, [1d20+14] ->
[4,14] = (18)(8549) Git: (well the door leading into the
2-4 hall)** (8571) Norfirion keeps scanning as the group
travels deeper looking for anything he might have missed previously. **(8550) DM: (apart from the field permeating the
pyramid...nothing.)** (8549) Git opens the door defensively, still
nervous of wraiths about **** (8562) Kha Consentrates a moment and attempts
draws power threw Vontaros into himself **** (8562) Kha sighs "My power is back in full,
I am no longer having to fight though a block" **(8550) DM: Piles of dust litter this hallway.
The hall is silent, as if the passing of the undead priest stilled everything
else in the pyramid.(8571) Norfirion: "Yes I thought so, Vontaros began to glow after
we destroyed the heart."(8573) Vrondard: "sure be quiet in here
now... "(8573) Vrondard: "even when it was.. it
really wasn't"(8573) Vrondard: "I felt that bugger
watchin me..."** (8571) Norfirion chuckles. **(8573) Vrondard: "like i couldnt see
him but i could hear his breathin in the room somewhere"(8562) Kha: "Glad to have you back in
connection with me Vontaros."** (8549) Git moves in looking about he hall and
wastes little time heading straight to the first door on his right (4) (search
and liste) **(8539) Agatha: "Aye, it does feel
something like calm. But that doesn't mean you should let your guard
down."whispering to TaliesinNYC, [1d20+14] ->

really gone, the traps sure as hell are still around."** (8549) Git opens the door a bit less
apprehensively **(8550) DM: This seems to be an observation room
overlooking a chamber on the maze level of the tomb. The room below is littered
with corpses....corpses of creatures with no discernible features and gray
skin. There is also a human body here, dressed in the manner of the desert
tribesmen.(8549) Git: "Hey, I think I foung the
other tribesman"(8549) Git: :heads to room 3 to check the
next door:(8562) Kha: "Pour shape changers, they
just wanted out of this place"** (8571) Norfirion detects magic. **(8539) Agatha: "Hmph. I ain't crying.
They were more than ready to kill."(8539) Agatha: "I'm just wondering what
it was that killed them."(8550) DM: This is an observation chamber much
like the others you have seen. The room below reeks of unwashed cows....and no
wonder....there are five minotaurs here, sleeping.(8573) Vrondard: "heh.."(8571) Norfirion: "Ah seems we found the farm..."(8562) Kha: "Hey Halif did you enter
this place with friends?"** (8549) Git tries to remain silent as he reseals
the door. Then he heads over to check the door to 2 **(8550) Halif: Yes, but we soon had a difference
of opinion, effendi. My friends wanted to pillage this place of riches whereas
I merely wished to leave.(8550) Halif: They are not what I would
consider..."honorable".(8571) Norfirion: "Ah, maybe they know about the staff and
star."(8562) Kha: "So we should leave them
sleeping?"whispering to TaliesinNYC, [1d20+14] ->

opening the last door, whispering, "There are people in there." **(8562) Kha: "You want to attack five
Minotaures? Had Teleute not warned me of rash actions I may have agreed with
you"(8539) Agatha: "People? Are they
alive?"(8549) Git: "I hear them talking. Don't
know if they're friendly or not so.. be on your toes."** (8549) Git goes back to door to 2 and opens the
door on the defensive once the others are prepared **** (8562) Kha moves in close and listens as Git
opens the door **(8550) DM: This appears to be an observation
chamber much like the others you've seen in the tomb. The room below contains
nine unwashed, filthy human men in shabby leather armor. Two are sleeping, some
are engaged in a game of dice and one is eating.(8573) Vrondard: "wont be
friendly...." he murmors** (8562) Kha calls out "Hello" **whispering to TaliesinNYC, [1d20+8] -> [12,8]
= (20)(8550) DM: The men look up, surprised.(8550) Man: Greetings, by Kor. And who are you?(8549) Git: "What are you loat doing in
a place like this? Hapless thieves I suppose?"(8562) Kha: "Sorry to startle you, but
unless I miss my guess you are here because you tried to steal something from
this place"(8549) Git: *lot even(8550) Man: Well...yes. (glances at his
friends) We came here looking for riches and now just wish to leave this place.
Can you lead us out?(8562) Kha: "May be able to, but we are
more interested in what you were able to find. At least right now, once we get
what we came for we will gladly lead you out"(8549) Git: :to kha: "I doubt any of
them got too far"(8562) Kha: "Not with Mun-afik still
alive, but you never know"(8562) Kha: "One of them may be a member
of that assasins guild, they should be fairly skilled from what I learned of
them"(8573) Vrondard: "so... where have you
been and what did you see there?"(8573) Vrondard: "thats the question
gents"(8550) Man: Well...if you come down here, we
can talk more. Not much, by Kor, just the odd dinar here and there. Three of
our number died fighting faceless ones.(8573) Vrondard: "so you came in and
basically wound up here..."(8562) Kha: "Well stay up here untill we
get what we need, if none of you have information I bid you fairwell untill we
are done, then we may come back and free you"(8550) DM: A sunburnt man pipes up. "We've
been wandering these halls forever. I'm not sure what day it is myself."(8573) Vrondard: "hmmm thats not a lot
of help..."(8562) Kha: "I dont know what day it is
either," **Turns to his friends** "Any of you object to leaving them
here for now?"(8571) Norfirion: "Have you came across any books in this
place?" *pipes up from the back*(8573) Vrondard: "I dont care a
whit"(8571) Norfirion: "Me either" *replying to Kha's question*(8539) Agatha: "It's a tad cruel, but
they're the least of our concerns."(8562) Kha: "Ok, lets move on, though I
do want to come set them free after we get what we need. No reason to leave
people to die in here"(8550) Man: Books? I haven't seen any books.
Have you seen any books? (to his friends)(8550) DM: Murmurs: "No"(8550) Man: Wait, where are you going?(8539) Agatha: "I'm with the lad for
once. We get the staff and the gem and then we can march them outta here."(8550) DM: The sunburnt man pleads, "You
can't leave us here like this! Take us with you!"(8573) Vrondard: "a bit later
perhaps... after we've cleaned the halls out o' them faceless spooks you don't
like"(8571) Norfirion: ""You have a better chance of living here,
until we're done. It's too dangerous."(8539) Agatha: ((to the thieves))
"Look, stay where you are. If you keep yourself from and getting any more
lost and keep yourselves safe, we'll find you again."(8550) Man: But....but...!(8549) Git: "We could just send them
back through the gnome's tunnel"** (8562) Kha turns and heads away "So where
to now?" **** (8571) Norfirion pulls out a forked twig in one
hand as he graspls to the star gem of Aga-pelar, speaking a short incantation
as he concentrates. **(8573) Vrondard: "lets go...how about
this way"(8550) DM: As you turn to leave, the men plead
louder...(8539) Agatha: "The wraiths are gone
now. You shouldn't have a problem staying alive unless you do something stupid.
We'll return after we take care of what we came here to do."(8549) Git: "The next stop would be the
room we first encountered munafik in. We never got to search it." :speaks
as he pulls a length of rope.:(8573) Vrondard: "bah Aggie..."
shakes his beard(8562) Kha: Sense Motive Skill Check:
[1d20+4] -> [18,4] = (22) (8549) Git: "Halif, can you give me a
hand with this line?" :hands the rope over to the minotaur: "We
should get this fools out first and send them to the surface. If we need to
make a quick escape for some reason, we shouldn't have to be worrying about
saving some dumb thieves"(8550) DM: (40 minute warning)(8571) Norfirion: "Hmmm the objects are above I suspect, 200' or so
I can presume."(8571) Norfirion: "Now where is the entrance to the upper
chamber?"(8549) Git: "No idea." :lowers the
rope down for the thieves to climb:(8562) Kha: "Some of them are not trust
worthy Git"(8539) Agatha: "They're nothing but a
batch of thieves, Git. Who's to say they take another trip down to rob
us?"(8549) Git: :to kha: "I doubt any of
them are"** (8562) Kha readies Vontaros seeing Git help them
out of the pit **(8539) Agatha: "Hell, how do we even
know they're people?"** (8571) Norfirion scans the climbing men for any
traces of magic. **(8539) Agatha: "They could be more of
those grey-skinned dopplegangers."(8549) Git: :shrug: "We could kill one.
See if he changes."(8573) Vrondard: "good plan"(8550) Man: Thank you, effendi. We pledge to
serve you in return for your leading us out of this accursed place.(8571) Norfirion: "Do you know the entrance to the way above?"(8550) Man: I am Diraz, of Qudra.(8550) Diraz: No, effendi, as we have not been
able to go anywhere save in that labyrinth.(8573) Vrondard: "is it really that
tough to get out of here?" he questions(8549) Git: "It's nice to meet Diraz.
And your services i'm sure will be helpful in time."(8550) Diraz: We have not been able to find a
way.(8549) Git: "Yeah, yeah... we're
working on it"(8573) Vrondard: "you haven't found any
really really nice treasure have you?"** (8549) Git leaves the room and begins toward the
other side of the floor, heading back to room 9 **(8562) Kha: "Diraz Over there"
**Points to the far wall** "Untill we get them all out"** (8539) Agatha keeps an eye on the thief,
watching his moves closely for any signs of behavior. **(8550) Diraz: Just an odd dinar.** (8550) Diraz walks to the wall as directed, with
a puzzled expression on his face. **** (8562) Kha taps Vrond on the sholder and lifts
his spear tword Diraz **(8562) Kha: "Sorry just need to keep
everything orginized with so many of you"(8549) Git: (*rather, git WILL leave... when
everyone else is ready)** (8562) Kha waits for the next person to come up
**(8571) Norfirion: "An odd dinar?"(8550) Hariq: Hariq, and I thank you, effendi.(8571) Norfirion: "Do you have an actual strange coin?"(8550) Diraz: Money, scattered on the floor of
the labyrinth.** (8550) Diraz holds up a few. **** (8571) Norfirion scans it for magic. **(8571) Norfirion: "Did it lead a certain path?"(8549) Git: "Well... at least you can
say you took some form of treasure from the great pyramid.(8571) Norfirion: "As if someone perhaps placed it there as a
marking?"(8550) Diraz: Why yes, you know of them?(8562) Kha: "Hariq againt this
wall" **Points to the opist wall from Diraz**(8571) Norfirion: "Not really, what do you know?"** (8549) Git grins and looks at the dinars **(8539) Agatha: "We figured they were a
trail to a traps for stupid, greedy thieves."(8550) Diraz: We simply followed these
throughout the tomb. Some of them led to places filled with creatures who we
fought, others led to empty rooms such as that one.** (8562) Kha looks down into the pit and motions
for the next to come up **(8550) DM: (moving up the end time. want to
stop here.)(8539) Agatha: ((That's fine.))
